I think about it every night and day
its stuck in the back of my mind
and it wont go away
i dont know why or where its coming from
i try to block it away, call it a day
but it keeps coming back, it sticks like a knife

and when i think about it
all i want to do is cry
and lord i dont know the reason or why
this thought in my head
it never seems to fade

did i tell you about the raider of my sleep
did i tell you about the raider of my sleep

its coming on really bothers me
this thought that it wont go away
its in my feelings
i need more time to really think it through
what should i really do
i dont have a clue
between me and you
i'm so confussed

when i think about it all
i want to do is cry
and lord i dont know the reason or why
this thought in my head
it never seems to fade

did i tell you about the raider of my sleep
did i tell you about the raider of my sleep

and will i find the answer to this
will i find a way
will it be you
to hold me
hold me through
and in the midnight hour of the night
will i find some peace
or will i still be raided
raided deep
ohh

and when i think about it
all i want to do is cry
and lord i dont know the reason or why
this thought in my head
it never seems to fade

did i tell you about the raider of my sleep
did i tell you about the raider of my
did i tell you about the raider of my sleep
did i tell you about the raider of my
sleep
